The Famous Hal Chase
“THE FIRST COW IN THE LAND.”
There appears daily on the white
house lawns a splendid specimen of
Jersey cow which grazes around the
disused tennis court, and hathes itself
in the sunshine throughout the after
noon while passersby look on with
astonishment.
‘‘Why, that’s the First Cow in the
Land,’’ says the policeman on duty at
the gate, ‘and entitled to all the cour
t.esy*and respect which we policemen
can shower upon her. She belongs to
Mrs. Taft, just purchased from Lieut.
Gen. H. C. Corbin, and we have or
ders to give her carte blanche and
entree to the most exclusive spots she
can select out here to graze on.”
The cow was purchased by Mrs.
iaft in order that the president’s fam
ily may be provided with milk that
is scruplously sanitary under all con
ditions. In the daytime the coif will
graze on a section of the white house
lawn near the stables, where Mrs.
Taft can see it from the window any
time she ehooses.
The strictest care will be given to
hygienic conditions at the white house
and Mrs. Taft believes that pure milk
is one of the first and most import
ant essentials. Having the cow spend
its time in the stable or on the green
lawn adjoining it is part of the plan
to insure the cow a healthful routine
of daily life. —Washington correspon

DO BRILLIANT MEN
ADMIRE
BRILLIANT WOMEN?
By ELBERT HUBBARD
A correspondent aeks me this: “Do
brilliant men admire brilliant wom
en?”
First disclaiming the gentle assump
tion that I am brilliant, I say yes.
The essence of marriage is com
panionship, and the woman you face
across the coffee urn every morning
for 99 years must be both able to ap
preciate your jokes and sympathize
with your aspirations. If this is not
so the man will stray, actually, or else
chase the ghosts of dead hopes
through the graveyard of his dreams.
Prettiness palls unless it is backed
up by intellect. The merely clever
woman is nearly as bad as the clove"
man. AT! these people who carry most
of their goods in the show window are
headed for jobs at the button count
er.
By brilliant men is meant, of course,
men who have achieved brilliant
things—who can write, paint, model,
orate, plan, manage, devise and exe
cute. And, by the way, an executive
is a man who decides quickly—and is
sometimes right.
brilliant men are but ordinary men,
who, at intervals, are capable of bril
liant performances. Not only are they
ordinary most of the time, hut, often
at times they are dull, perverse, prej-

udiced and absurd. However, they
are sometimes right, and this is bet
ter than to be dead wrong al! the
time.
So here is the truth: Your ordinary
man who does the brilliant things
would be ordinary all the time were
it not for the fact that he is inspired
by a woman.
Great thoughts and great deeds are
the children of married minds.
When you find a great man playing
a big part on life’s stage you’ll find
in sight, or just around the corner,
a great woman. Read history!
A man alone is only half a man;
it takes two to make the whole.
Two is the sacred number; not
three.
Ideas are born of parents.
Now life never did, nor can, cons: '
in doing brilliant things all day 1
Before breakfast all men are rogu
And even brilliant men are brilliant
only two hours a day. These Bril
liant moments are exceptional. Life
is life to everybody. We must eat,
breathe, sleep, exercise, bathe, button
our clothes, and lace our shoes. We
must be decent to folks, agreeable, to
our friends, talk when we should and
be silent when we ought.
To be companionable—fit to live
under the same roof with good peo
ple—consists neither in being pretty
nor clever. No man can love a wom
an long if she does not help him
carry the burden of life. He will
support her for a few weeks or pos
sibly years, then if she doesn’t show
a disposition and ability to support
him, her stocks drop below par.
Robert Louis, the beloved, used to
tell ■something he called "Charm.”
But even his subtle pen, with all its
witchery, could not quite describe
charm of manner—that gracious per
sonal quality which meets people, high
or low, and sends them away bene
fited, bleesed and refreshed.
EUen Terry, turned CO, has it. The
Duse, homely, positively homely in
features, rests her chin in her hand
and looks at you and listens in a
way that captures, captivates and
brings again the pleasures of past
years.
I am encouraged and delighted when
I think of how women everywhere
are learning to work—work with
head, hands and heart —-preparing
themselves to be fit companions of
men who are to do brilliant things.
The work of women’s clubs has
been of vast benefit to men, for it
has cat them out a pace. Woman is
no longer a doll, a plaything, a teddy
bear; she is the intellectual coir,pan
ion of the man and he must prepare
himself to be her companion and help
meet.
There is no sex in soul.
Men and women must go forward
hand in hand—single file is savagery.
A brilliant man is dependent on a
woman, and the greater he is the
more he needs her. The onlv man
who has no use for a woman is one
YANKEES PLAYING 1
AUGUSTA
'TODAY
Some of Most Famous
Players in the World. Are
Here With Stallings’ Ag
gregation.
Monday afternoon Augusta fans
will see for the first time in many
seasons a game between the Tourist 3
and a team which includes some of
the most famous baseball players in
the world today, the New York Am
ericans.
The George Stallings’ aggregation
blew in Sunday. The men are in
fine fettle. They spent the day out
doors, riding, driving and strolling.
They are registered with Duke Far
rell, second in command. Stallings
is expected Monday.
For the altogether reasonable ad-,
mission fee of 25 cents, any fan in
Augusta may see Willie Keeler play
right field, and Kid Elberfield play
third base. That alone is worth the
price. But wait. Clyde Engle, one
time left fielder for Augusta, who Is
now a member of the New York Am
ericans, will be seen at his old posi
tion in the outer garden. Kleinow
will catch. Just a few. these are,
and the rest of the bunch is equally
famous.
Augusta fans are not by anv
means unacquainted with the appear
ance of a major league baseball ag
gregation on the field. Every spring
for many years one aggregation or an
other from the big circuits lias train
ed here. But never New York, and
with the possible exception of the
Detroit Tigers, no team has been seen
here in recent years with such a bril
liant collection of baseball talent. The
fact that George Stallings, himself
an old Augusta hoy, is now at the
head of the Ban Tohuson organiza
tion, will add another touch of in
terest to the game.
It is learned with regret that Hal
Chase will probably he out of the
game. Last week he suffered a
spiked ankle, and now he has a touch
of malaria. Wherefore in all prob
ability Laporte will play first base.
However, the great and only Hal will
be on the field in uniform, to warm
up, and thus fandom will not be whol
ly deprived of a glimpse at his peer
less methods.
The probable line-up of the two
teams is as follows:
Hemphill, center field.
Keeler, right field.
Laporte, or possibly Chase, first
base.
Elberfield, third base.
Engle, left field.
Ball, second base.
Knight, shortstop.
Lake, Hughes and Manning, pitch
ers.
Kleinow and Blair, catchers.
Augusta.
McLaurin, left field.
Bierman, shortstop.
Coles, center field.
McMahon, third base.
Hornhorst, first base.
Smith, right field.
Castro, second base.
Carson, catcher.
Hannifan and Barrett, pitchers.

who is not all there—one whom God
has overlooked at the final inspec
tion.
The brilliant man wants a wife who
is his chum, companion, a “good fel
low,” to whom he can tell things he
knows, or guesses, hopes; one with
whom he can be stupid and foolish;
one with whom he can act out his na
ture. If she is stupid all the time, he
will have to be brilliant, and this will
kill them both. To grin and bear It
Is gradual dissolution; to bear It and
not grin is death.

MANY PICNICS TO
BE ftT LUKE
VIEW
Several Sunday Schools
Have Already Takeu up
the Matter with the Park
Authorities.
Indications are that the approach
ing summer will bring a greater num
ber of picnic parties to Lake View
park than ever before. The manage
ment starteu out with the determina
tion of taking everything of this kind
within a radius of fifty miles of Au
gusta, and unless all signs fail, they
will come pretty near the mark.
Quite a number of dates have been
arranged already, some definitely and
others to be closed within a few days.
On May 7 the Methodist and Bap
tist Sunday schools of Hephztbah will
picnic at Lake View. Practically all
arrangements have been made. The
children will come to Augusta in spe
cial passenger coaches over the Au
gusta Southern railroad under the
ehaperonage of Mr. U. B. Frost, and
special cars will take them to the
lake. The Hephzibali picnic Is always
one of the biggest outing events of
the year. A large crowd attends, a
sumptuous feast Is served and many
Augusta friends are invited.
The St. John Methodist Sunday
school will hold their annual picnic
at Lake View' on May 14. Mr. A. H.
Merry is chairman of the committee
on arrangements, and preparations
are already being made. Special cars
will leave Jackson street at 9:30 a. m.
After the outing special cars will take
the party on a jaunt around the belt.
On May 15 the Langley Methodist
Sunday school will picnic at the lake.
Special cars will be provided for their
accommodation. The St. Matthew
Lutheran Sunday school will hold
their annual outing at Lake View on
May 12, under the direction of Mr.
George H. Gercke.
The management stales that quite a
number of big amusements will be put
on at the park in addition to the regu
lar features.
MANY TAX PAYERS
THRONG CITY HALL
Rush to Pay City Taxes is
Looked on as a Good
Sign.
City tax payers made a rush on the
office of the city treasurer Monday
morning, and for several hours Mr.
Harry Morris had his hands full.
Taxes are being turned In much more
promptly than usual, which is always
regarded as a good sign.
City taxes are paid by a system
I hat is very convenient. Half must,
be paid between April 1 and 20, a
quarter between July 1 and 20, and
Ihe remaining quarter between Octo
ber I and 20. If a property owner
wants to pay all his tax in April, he
is accorded a discount of one per
cent. However, full payment is not
compulsory, though he must pay half,
for if such a payment is not made
the full amount for a year becomes
due, plus a penalty of 10 per cent.
